The Cleveland Browns cruised to a 34-24 win over the Bengals on Sunday holding off a late charge from the Cincinnati offense to bag their first win of the 2012 season.

Following a lackluster showing last week against the Miami Dolphins, the Bengals were expected to get back on track against a 0-5 Browns team.

However, after yet another head scratcher of a performance, hopes that last week was an anomaly have been all but shattered.

With the team at its healthiest since the season began, excuses are thin on the ground.

The Bengals schedule doesn't get any easier from here on out, and their hopes of making the playoffs have taken a major blow with losses to the lowly Browns and Dolphins.

Here's your winners and losers from Sunday's action.

LOSER: The Cincinnati Bengals Organization

While Cincy were heavy favorites in this one, you would struggle to find a Bengals fan surprised by the outcome.

From start to finish the Bengals oozed complacency and it's a complacency that has been instilled from the top down.

It seems that when Mike Brown renewed Marvin Lewis' contract preaching the value of continuity, what he actually did was give the big thumbs up to mediocrity. This sentiment has seeped into every facet of the franchise and was painfully apparent on-field on Sunday afternoon.
